This post includes climate and environment headlines, data points, and key takeaways from recent public polls – including new polling on the climate-related provisions in the White House budget proposal, new polling on environmentally responsible investing, and new polling on the EPA’s proposed soot standards.

Here at the Climate Advocacy Lab, our ambitious mission and diverse programs mean that we endeavor to do many things.

Most recently, about 1 in 4 (26%) Americans are “Alarmed” about climate change. They outnumber the “Dismissive” (11%) by more than 2 to 1. Since the last Six Americas report, the “Alarmed” segment has decreased by 7 percentage points (from 33% in September 2021), however, the majority of Americans (53%) are still either “Alarmed” or “Concerned,” while fewer than half that number (22%) are either “Doubtful” or “Dismissive.”
